Ecothermatik™ long-goods pasta dryer
The Bühler Ecothermatik™ dryer is a revolutionary new development for drying long-goods pasta. Sophisticated control of the drying air means that Ecothermatik™ dryers require up to 40% less thermal energy, 20% less cooling energy and 10% less electrical energy. And the usual high quality of the pasta with regard to appearance, cooking characteristics and breakage resistance is retained. This is rounded off by the systems excellent ease of maintenance and high food safety.
Energy saving
The Ecothermatik™ dryer optimizes thermal energy usage with exhaust air flows being used for in-process heat recovery. Further savings can be made thanks to optimized aerodynamic concepts and the use of energy-efficient fans.
Top pasta quality
The drying concept begins in the predryer; a new climate control system and more humid drying air prevent the surface of the pasta from becoming glassy. The pasta remains rubber-like throughout the entire drying process. The advantages of this process are stress-free drying, outstanding cooking characteristics and the option of adjusting the pasta color in the stabilization phase.
User friendliness and food safety
The generously sized elements not only ensure constant air circulation with low pressure loss, but also allow easy access for cleaning and maintenance. Furthermore, consistent use of durable, food-grade materials is a mark of Bühlers renowned quality.
